That"s life.
Two friends go out fishing,
it was a lovely day.
You cannot beat this pastime
to dwindle time away.
They park beside a bridge
get on their fishing gear.
Feeling really good
they even have some beer.
Further down the road
coming from afar,
three cars are approaching
one is a Funeral car.
As the front car passes
one man stands and bows his head,
clearly showing respect
to the bereaved and to the dead.
He lingers for a moment
then puts back on his cap.
His friend looks on in awe,
thinks what a decent chap.
"That was very nice of you,
to stop, respect a life."
"To take onboard the pain involved
for a husband or a wife."
"It was the least that i could do,
in fact i feel some tears."
"After all she was my wife
for nearly twenty years!"
